Cat Sitting Madison Center

“Recently I took 3 different short trips of 3 nights each, and each time Melissa came over to my house and took care of my two very shy cats. I highly recommend Melissa, because you will have complete confidence in knowing that you have a sitter who will care for your cats very well while you are away.”

“Met with us prior to meet the pups and go over instructions. Arrived on time agreed. Went above and beyond. Stayed and played with the pups the entire time. Communicated well. We felt comfortable with Ly-Linh right away and would not hesitate to recommend.”

About: I've pet-sat for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and guinea pigs since 2001. My sittings have ranged from a few hours to two weeks. I've sat for family, friends, and many parents here on Rover. My family has included two cats, Cleopatra and Caesar, and dogs Valentine, Athos, and Teddy. My goal as a sitter is to offer stability and enrichment while their parent is away. I'm available for drop-ins and overnights and happy to care for your home during the stay, watering plants, etc. My schedule is very flexible outside of my 9-5 at Yale. Why I love pet sitting Who doesn't love some fuzzy company? And I understand from watching our family pets how disorienting a kennel can be. In-home sitting puts pets (and you!) at ease when you're away, so they can enjoy the "vacation" just as much as you can! My experience administering medication I've given pill medication via pill packs and oral liquid medication via syringe. If your dog requires medication, happy to discuss. (In case you're wondering why my testimonials haven't been updated recently, it's because I took a break from Rover to be more available to sit for family and friends. Sadly, some of those lovely pets have passed away now. It means though that I have the availability to return to Rover and I'm happy to be back!) In my initial meeting with a family, I like to get a sense of the pet's routine to determine if I can recreate that for them while their parent is away. My schedule, aside from my 9-5, is dictated by the pet's needs. I prefer to care for a pet in their own home. Before accepting a new client, I like to meet the pet and the parent(s) to make sure we're all vibing. I determine routine/schedule/likes/dislikes with the parent(s) in advance and stay in touch if something needs to deviate, which is rare.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over ten years. I grew up with a wheaten terrier who I loved for 14 years, and since then I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. Whether your pup is playful, sensitive, or needs a calm, steady presence, I’m very comfortable adapting to what they need. Most clients book me for in-home dog care, as it allows dogs to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their routine. I offer structure, gentle companionship, and clear communication every step of the way so you can travel or work confidently, knowing your dog is happy and supported. I also work as a realtor, which means I’m extremely respectful in people’s homes and very used to handling keys, security systems, and property access professionally and discreetly. Pets warm to me quickly, and owners tell me they appreciate the calm confidence I bring to their home. Although I do offer boarding on occasion, my space is best suited for dogs that aren’t excessively vocal, as I live in a condo. All normal barking is perfectly fine — I just may not be the best match for dogs that howl or bark nonstop. My goal is always the same: to make sure your pup feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m looking to add to my day with some exercise and fun with your dog(s)! I particularly make sure I am available at regular meal times for pets. I can provide companionship, exercise and care for your pet at your home or at my home. While I am out of the house for about 3-4 hours some days, I work from home a lot.

“Dustin is the absolute best! It’s only because of him I was able to leave for two weeks and enjoy time with my loved ones for the holidays. He is trustworthy, consistent, and reliable. He was patient with my girl, Marshmallow, and accommodated to her needs. My family and I are so grateful for Dustin, and I plan to rebook him in the future.”

Sarah Elizabeth J.

“Both my cat and I love JJ! As nervous as I was to leave my beloved kitty behind as I traveled for the holidays, I knew when I met JJ that I would have nothing to worry about. Clearly an animal-lover, JJ made sure my cat was well taken care of physically and emotionally. Each day she sent me photos of him doing a variety of things - eating, drinking, playing, lounging - so I knew he was happy and healthy. Even though my cat is typically shy around strangers, he warmed up to JJ after the first visit. I would absolutely recommend JJ for any of your pet care needs. If I ever have to leave town without my cat again, JJ will be the person I trust to care for him while I'm gone. Thank you, JJ!”

About: Hello! My name is Brittney and I have been caring for dogs and many other animals since I was a young kid. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking for family friends and neighbors and now with this app I am able to continue to do so. I currently have one dog, Macie who is wonderful and loves to play or lounge, really whatever I am doing she is right there with me. I love all dogs age and size don’t matter to me! I love to walk dogs and am just looking to exercise and care for other pets in the area in my free time! Hope I can meet your dog or other pets soon! I work in the school system so I have summers off and a very flexible schedule. I am primarily home during the summer months and my boyfriend also lives and works from home so we are regularly around most of the day! All needs of the pet depend on each one. I am adaptable and eager to work with what your specific pet needs. I am happy to exercise, play, administer meds, etc.

About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. Currently have a dog walking client at Winding Brook Condominiums in Meriden. I’m there twice a day for 30 minute walks and play. I bought some balls for her so she can play. Have videos and lots of photos. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to beloved pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs after caring for my Pomeranian, Coco, in her old age.🪽I’m calm, patient, reliable, and experienced with all personalities, routines, and medication needs. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. I’m a full-time student online, so I have plenty of time to spend with pets. I’m active and love getting dogs outside for walks and hikes, and I also make sure they get enrichment through play, structure, and mental stimulation. I practice a lot of this with my own dog, Brownie. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. I’ve cared for my own dog, Brownie, from her puppy days and know how important patience, guidance, and consistent routines are. I follow the routines you’ve set for feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and pay attention to the little things that make pets feel relaxed and happy while your away.

I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and genuinely love animals. I treat every pet as an individual and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, affection, and care they’re accustomed to while you’re away. Any special qualifications or training?

Rate: $110/day Going away or need an extra hand with your pets? Message me with your dates and tell me a little about your pet—I’d love to provide them with loving, personalized care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m an Airbnb host and property manager, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to manage my time around the pets in my care. I’m accustomed to being organized, responsive, and attentive to details while managing a property, coordinating guests, and maintaining a welcoming, well-kept environment. I also have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and reptiles. I’m comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and playtime, handling daily routines, and giving pets plenty of companionship and attention. Because my work is flexible and largely self-managed, I can accommodate daytime visits, walks, extended stays, and overnight care. I’m able to structure my schedule around each pet’s routine rather than expecting them to fit around a rigid workday, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, rest, and bedtime, while giving them plenty of attention and companionship along the way. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and take pride in leaving things just as I found them. As an Airbnb host and property manager, I’m accustomed to being responsible, organized, and attentive to the details that make a home feel comfortable and well maintained. Most importantly, I take the time to get to know each pet individually. Some thrive on activity and attention, while others prefer a quieter pace and a little space. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care that keeps your pet happy and comfortable—and gives you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve had cats since I was 13 and have many years of hands-on experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I was able to help an older rescue cat become comfortable and affectionate over time, which taught me patience and how to build trust with shy or nervous cats. I currently have a tortie of my own, so I understand how important routines, playtime, and a calm environment are. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time as a paraprofessional from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays and am currently earning my master’s degree in elementary education. I’m available for pet care visits in the late afternoons and evenings after 4:30 PM, as well as weekends and school breaks. For cat sitting, I’m happy to stay for extended visits and can sit with your cat while I complete my schoolwork so they have calm companionship and supervision while you’re away. My schedule is consistent and dependable, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines closely so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I provide feeding, litter box care, playtime, and calm companionship during visits. As a paraprofessional and graduate student in elementary education, I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to details and instructions. I also communicate regularly with updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, cared for, and relaxed.

“Patricia was a fantastic sitter! It was the first time we left our cat at our apartment with a sitter and when we came home he was as happy and healthy as always!”

“Kailah has been great with my dogs! I have 2 rescues who are super nervous around new people. This was our 3rd time booking with Kailah, she has been super patient and they are starting to warm up to her. I would recommend Kailah and will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I absolutely love going for walks and runs with dogs! Please see updated photos for some of my previous pet clients. Recently took care of a few hairless cats as well as a big dog! I’ve taken care of pets in many settings, including messier households! (Not a neat freak so messes do not bother me!) I trained my Doberman on Couch to 5k, running through all the trails in RI. I’ve taught my cat how to shuffle cards, play piano, and spin in a circle on command, and my mom’s old cat would always practice Pilates with us at 6 in the morning. Recently I dropped in for a friend’s 2 cats, even the shy one eventually warmed up to me! They required medication in their food so she left detailed, neatly handwritten notes on the table, which helped a lot! Known for my positive and caring energy as a music therapist (who works alongside a pet therapist!) and music teacher, and with a mom with a college degree in animal science, I have a passion for animals in general. She is now dating a farmer and we now have a baby cow named clover who I help take care of occasionally on Sundays. Generally I am available in the middle of the day most days of the week for one-off visits. My boyfriend is a biologist and also has a small dog who I walk frequently in the mornings and at midnight (she’s a night owl like us!) Available to do drop-ins at your home within 45 mins of Montville - please message me at least one week before your trip to solidify the booking! Please be kind, respectful, and professional in your requests - I do not take last minute visits but would love to help you out with your furry friend. Not a veterinarian, just an animal lover with a lot of compassion!! One of my favorite activities is running, I can always walk or run with your pet, or if you prefer us to lounge, I have lots of great pet-friendly shows on our nice TV. I love driving so I’m happy to drive to you if it’s further away - as I am regularly back and forth between Westerly, RI and Uncasville, CT. Outside of teaching in a formal studio, I’ve worked in client’s homes for therapy-related meetings as well as for music lessons - and believe it or not often times there are pets who love to sing along to the music! I usually stay home in the morning so I can easily take care of your pet between 7 am and 2 pm. I used to have an office job but found it too sedentary and draining; I discovered I thrive in outdoor and home environments. I’m excited to enter this new chapter and care for animals! I have a partially fenced yard so I would generally take pets out on a leash but it is a non-busy road and very safe - the lawn is freshly mowed and we have a playground your dog can weave around! I also have a cute little neighborhood that we can circle around that is far from the highway and if your pet loved car rides, we can always go to the park and get ice cream! Occasionally our neighbor’s dog likes to come over unsolicited but he is always very gentle and friendly! My cats are also used to my mom’s boyfriend’s rambunctious dogs coming in and out from time to time and we have plenty of doors and rooms in the house and baby gates if we ever needed to keep pets separate! We also have a spare pet bed if needed that was gifted to us - we always want to make sure your pet is comfortable sleeping at night!

About: Hi all! I’ve been pet-sitting since very young (age 10), having experience with various dog breeds and sizes as well as cats. Feel free to reach out so we can connect! I currently work per diem, so I have plenty of free time to care for little ones. I tend to have open availability, even for last minute requests! I am very open and able to follow any requests concerning your little ones. I understand that every pet is different when it comes to their needs, so I am very accommodating and willing to learn how to best care for your baby!
